This year I am going to live kinder and gentler with less plastic waste - period. I am going to reduce my plastic food packaging by 50%. Everything I can buy in bulk I will.
Both whole foods and my little health store Mountain Mama will weigh food containers I bring into the store and let me refill them. So no need to buy flour, pasta, beans, spices, grains, cereal, oatmeal, nuts, or dried fruit in plastic or paper. I just save my jars, have them weighed and refill. Easy peasy!
You are already kind and gentle but I love this idea:) I don't know of any place in Santa Fe that weighs the container in advance but I did buy some wonderful cloth bags for nuts and dry stuff.
ReplyDeleteThis is so essential - I wish this was everyone's resolution. My co-op lets me refill jars as well and they provide recycled jars for customers. I've become totally jar-happy. But someone keeps throwing out my lids!
ReplyDeleteHmm - that lid thief needs to be caught! I have some of your jars you left here!
